发帖数: 21 | 1 A Psalm of Life
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
'Life that shall send A challenge to its end, And when it comes, say, 'Welco
me, friend.''
WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST
I
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
II
Life is real—life is earnest—
And the grave is not its goal:
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
III
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destin' |
